SEPARATION THE SOLUTION. That was a notable address deliverd on Tuesday by the lion. John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, before the Chau tauqua, N. Y., "mob" confeence. A brief synopsis of the address, outlining 2 Mr. Graves' position. is published else where in this issue. Mr. Graves' argu- t ment is very s'rong. His portrayal of conditions existing in the South is very true. lHis theme was "Lynching." and while the crime is national, he spoke of it from the standpoint of the South. "Lynching is a crime," said Mr. Graves. "No sane man will deny that proposition. It is anarchy. It is riot. It is a stab at the law. It is deplorable. It is awful. It. is appalling. But it is here. It is here to stay. ' ''We might as well state the question fairly. Ile problem of the hour is not how to pre vent, lynching in the South, but the larger question, how shall we destroy the crime which always has and always will provoke lynching." No truer words were ever spoken. Lynching for what ever cause is deplora he. ut. to seek to prevent it for the one crime is worse than useless. Nor do we helive that lynching for t his crime is always unjst itiable. The great dallgerl lies itn the fact that the spirit of lawlessness once aroused can not he cont rolled. If lynht'ling for rapt he Con111ne(ilded the spirit of mob violence will spread until even the least crimes will be considered suilcient cause for speedy executimn at the hands of the mob. 'Ihe truth of this has alreadv bee) seen. lBut however mueh we may d iset the evil of lynching the fact remains that lynching for utpe can not he Plre vented. Ini the el oUetIt Wolrds of \I1r. Graves, "the crtime of lVnching had its originl a1d genesis it) the unsp 'eak al ble horror and 1 unspeakable indigilation of a chivalrous I ople for a monstrous outrage igaiist the Iothers. the wives and the daughters of the race. t'ount it at its worst, c(onicede its liwlessiess, colifess its dettoraization but you. sir- voi who coidetin lynching most put yourself in the place of the victitli or the viclim's kin stand in tle asles and desolation of anguish for which there is no balm in tioe (and n' healing inl religion: look upon the forim maimtoed. hattered anld forever dishonored, of the thing yon hh1l dleat'est and puest on1 elarth l ati then with vour' hal upon the hea't of' at honest matn. answer the challenge of the mob. 'nd say. where would you stand in that dav'.' So long as letn hold the family t: sacred ntil the honor of their womecn above all things lviclhing will i Low the criie. The. only way then t-i pr vent lynclint:g is to prevent the 'rn-.. herefore. as .Mr. Gra\es has said. qtuestion fotr the S'ithl is not the;r velition of lyltclhiig, but the pi'evet'i of the crime which p-recedes it. "The lyncher does not exvterminat t1he rapist ult 1.1 e holds him mi . it) ('leek. The mob I statnds todlay as th' highest, strtotigest atnd most poetenthdi bulwark bii eier t h, wotnet of t}h.

Thel pr'ophei'y of Tlhomuas J1efl'erisont uttered ttanty, manyi) year's ago will be fulfill'd. Molt violeite is rapidly spreading t hroughout the' countriy to) (day. Lynchinig f'oi' thle ciime of rape cannot lit pt'even te and nuiltever will b e pr'eetd. So long aus the're aire ly neli ings for t his cime ot her ad lesser crimes will provoke theit samet piunishi ment. TIhe spirit tof niob v'iolence will cotntinlue to sprieadl, and(l t'e41 cnt inuante of the spirit tof mob violence tmeans an-. archy, and anarchy mecans tyratnny. Mr. Roosevelt was cor'rect whetn he utter"ed that thought. There is (only oneO cotnclusion. If the cim)e of rape be niot prevented it will be onily a v'ery few years utntil anarchy, verging inito tyrany will pre'tvail. E'dutcation wvill not prtevent the crime. There have been more assaulIts u potn wvhite women by negro brutes ini the last few year's than at any other p)eriod since the war'. If education wvill not solve the plroblemi, nothing is left save separation. And in the eloquent word(s of Mr. Graves, "When the wvisdomn, the courage, the candor of the country shall reach this great and just conclu sion, God and the statesmanship of an unclontrollahle race wvill find the honor able and peCaceful way."

We note that the newspaper sa:, that ov. Heyward is pleased with the re ort of Chief Hammett and the resilts 'omplished in the enforcemnct of the ispensary law in South Carolina.
